About this tool
Type in your goal finish time and pick a race distance, and the tool works out the steady pace per kilometre plus the clock time at each 5K marker. Even pacing is the plan it prints; on a hilly or windy course you may still need to adjust by feel on the day.
Frequently asked questions
Should I run exactly even splits?
Even splits are a solid starting plan, but hills, wind, and crowds may force small changes; treat the band as a guide.
Does it include a sprint finish?
No. It assumes one steady pace from start to finish, so a fast finish would beat the band.
